That Which Keeps the Boys Away
From Morning Service.

A minister asks the advice of the
Christian Register as to the length
Of sermons. He says that his last
Sunday sermon was five minutes
too long and as he came cut OF tho
pulpit he could see " a sort OF II
o'clock expression, a kind Of cold
dinner look Of reproach, in the
eyes of some of his congregation"
Ho thinks that tho last five min
utes did 1t, and he wants to know
whether that part Of the sermon
ought to have been omitted. The
editor, in reply, suggests that in
general it is better TO cut down
your sermon than to cut down your
congregation. lie admonished his
correspondent that if he will look
over his sermon, now that it is
cold, he will find that lie could
have cut it down. The trouble
was that he could not cut it down
while it was hot. AS to where to
make the abridgement the editor
says
But it You feel when you have
your sermon ready ut first hand
that you must cut oH five minutes,
don't take off that five minutes at
the end. Take it off at the begin
ming. Reduce the size Of your
front stoop." DON'T spend so much
time engraving your door plate.
Shorten the corridor. Don't uso
SO many winding stairs. Be a lit
tie more direct. Leave out soma
OF your parenthesis nobody will
miss them. Make Your sentences
short and terse, and don't use too
many OF them. Cut it down i'll
the beginning or cut it down in the
middle. Leave out those polished
literary conccits.

NEWS comes to us from every
noted cattle region, that the past
winter has been severe one on
stock, and loosing one to dealers.
From Texas we hear of unprece-
dented mortality among the bo-
vines. Colorado's losses has been
serious, partly on account OF Sc
we're cold aiid extraordinary falls
Of SNOW. Montana, the loss has
been fully so per cent. So OF all
other States and Territories, which
formerly proved rich fields for cat
tie growers. But New Mexico
proves an exception to the rule.
Here, cattle have not suffered from
sickness or want OF feed, and no
special care has been taden tor
their comfort. Strangers, one and
all, remark on passing through
our country, that they never
saw cattle emerge from win
ter season looking SO sleek and
fat as those Of New Mexico, and
never before was such luscious
meat provided consumers by our
local butchers as now. But the
ontlook for profits to cattle raisers
Is not very eXhilu..ting, as the
prices IN metropolitan markets and
st0ck-ya ds are lew. Yet, New
Mexico stGckmcu cannot loose, but
others, with fatality and low pri-
cvs Ia contend against, will be
crowded very near the wal. in Ell
torts to keep even, unless the mar
kets have an unprecedented and
unexpected boom. One thing may
help Texas out, and that is through

A Small Town That Is Not Expected to
Have Much OF Boom.
A gentleman who recently came up
from Mountain Home says the place
has scarcely 125 souls, and that the
heavy taxpayers residing in the vioin.
ity did not desire a new county, a.
they knew that it simply meant addi-
tional burdens for them. Mountain
Home subsists solely upon the tran
sient trade of Rocky Bar and Atlanta
and the permanent trade OF . few
stock growers, most of whom import
their goods direct from FIRST hands in
the supply centers. This fact causes
goods to be sold in Mountain Home
from 10 to rs per cent. cheaper than
in HALEY. There is only one house
in the town of any Importance, to- wit:
that of Helfrich & Miller, and the
